On a positive note The unconventional aclymitization to Byetta that I followed under supervision from my Diabetic nurse specialist and drs(due to other major health issues). together with 500mg of sr metformin in the evening 2 to 3 hours after Byetta injection and sticking to 120g digestible...

Hiya Even on a regular carb diet, there is a limit. Oatbran is very nearly 50% carbohydrate-perhaps there are other ways!!! As with most things its 'WHole Foods' that contain the fibre. If green leafed veggies are counted towards fibre intake then the stalks must be included as it is where...

Dear All This is one of the main concerns for me. We are told we should be aiming at 30g, (GDA is lower at 24g) of non digestable carbs a day, otherwise known as fibre, or non starch polysaccharide(NSP) below 20g is considered to be dangerous for extended periods of time; This amount of...

I agree T, unfortunately, my health care is such that no one hospital deals with me. My local hospitals just don't go there when it comes to the cancer treatment I have needed, aren't even allowed to do the operation. SO off I went to London, The Local Stoma Nurse Specialists will not tread on...

45 pages for a thread dating back so many years, just where do you begin. I would appreciate a dedicated Byetta area and it seems others would too Julia Also "And would also like to add, that if people are going to be upset with being discussed outside this forum, then they should not post due...

I am interested in the side effects. As I said I am in the process of acclimatisation with byetta. The only deviance from the guidelines in my taking of byetta is an interim period of 5 and 10 rather than jumping from 5, 5 to 10 10 each day, the final dose will be as norm. I am aware that this...

Cugila, I know where to start with my response I am totally aware that a diet can be many things to a diabetic, I try not to repeat myself as I feel it gets a bit boring. I grew up with a diabetic,my mother, my father became diabetic, I have lived with diabetic diets of one shape or form since I...

Hiya Ive noticed an increase in BG following an argument or very stressful situation. Would I be right in thinking that it is to do with increased adrenalin levels. An argument prepares our bodies for a fight both emotionally and physically and therefore the adrenalin levels rise, it is not...

Hiya I have never seen a specialist But I do see the DNS either in the outreach clinic at the GP surgery or at the hospital. I know the DNS discusses my case with the 'Experts' so am confident she is doing her best. My GP is great and sees me now and again about the diabetes, and other things...

I am being seen by the diabetic nurse. I was started on 5mu g twice daily at least 5 hours apart and preferably with breakfast and evening meal. This was increased after two months to 5mu g. am and 10 mu g. pm. I take one 500mg. modified release metformin after my evening meal. This is all I can...

Hello exenatide users I have read many of the posts on the byetta thread, but have only come across the drowsiness and nausea side effects. I am currently trying to acclimatise to byetta, which for me is a slow process due to missing intestinal and bladder bits. I have a colostomy and urostomy...

Hello everyone, my name is julia and I was diagnosed with diabetes just over a year ago and have just found this forum by chance. I have type 2 diabetes. I had thought that I had escaped diabetes, there are many family members who have both type 1 and type 2 and mature onset, so living with...
